commuter

i live 35 minutes away from campus but will be commuting my first year. will this affect my chances of getting a bid? also, will it be difficult to be involved while living so far away?

most larger houses wont take you, social stigma behind commuting and probs living at home

I disagree. I don't necessarily think it's because of a stigma. I think that most houses know that commuter students have a harder time getting involved/staying involved with clubs and social things because they live so far.

Commuter students who join greek life tend to drop out. a lot. It's hard to stay involved and be able to attend all the events when you live so far and have to keep driving back and forth. Sororities know this so they will often choose an on campus pnm over one who lives a half hour away.

don't tell people you live so far away? When they ask where you live just say an off campus apartment or house?

That would be fine until they need you urgently and wonder why you're 30 minutes late

its not like they're going to be 30 minutes away from campus at all times. They'll probably be there 6-8 hours a day 4-5 days a week anyways.
